Viernes Social at ModernMami.comDisclosure: In conjunction with hosting this giveaway, I will receive two months of personal assistant service from TaskUs.com and a 2-night stay at Hyatt Place.

What does every busy working parent need? Besides more sleep, of course – that’s not something I can help you with.

Take another guess. Go ahead….give up? Oh ok.

Personal assistant. Am I right?

I know there’s been many times I’ve said, “If only I had a personal assistant to…” – you fill in the blank. From keeping up with work, the house, finances, our families, and the many many responsibilities we have every day, maintaining your sanity can be hard at times. We work hard to achieve work-life balance in our lives and we need every little bit of help we can get. In fact, a recent national study conducted by Hyatt Place found that the number of Americans struggling with work-life balance has nearly doubled to 71% since 2006.

It seems that one of the reasons we’re having a harder time finding our balance is that we’re no longer splitting up our various roles. The average 2010 American is instead multitasking all day, every day. Some interesting stats from the study:

  • 83% of Americans said they often take care of work matters from home
  • 59% stated that they often handle personal matters at work
  • 62% of respondents said they are constantly multitasking
  • On average, someone working from home is doing five tasks simultaneously

Sound familiar?

To help with your busy multitasking life, Hyatt Place is currently giving away 2 months of virtual personal assistant service to 20 people. The service will be provided by TaskUs.com and you can enter through April 9.

But, you can enter for an even better giveaway right here. In addition to the 2 months of virtual assistance, you can also win a 2-night stay at a Hyatt Place hotel of your choice. Oh, and, two of you will win!

I need a personal assistant because I am so unorganized that I can't seem to get my personal life together. A personal assistant could help me get things back in control. :)

I need a personal assistant because last week, I:

* forgot my daughter's 6-year pediatrician checkup
* woke up at 3 am worried about all the things on my to-do list – and couldn't get back to sleep
* got in fight with my husband because of all the piles of dirty laundry in the hamper

Oh, wait, I guess a virtual assistant wouldn't help wtih the laundry. At least I'd get help with #1 and #2!

As a single mom of two boys, ages 15 and 9, I need a personal assistant to help me keep track of my blog events, school event, family events and life! Having an assistant would allow me to get a good night's sleep. Ahhhhh a good nights sleep…just thinking of it makes me feel like I need to get to bed LOL

Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Why I need a personal assistant: I would like to start a business, and a TaskUs.com personal assistant would be in a far better position to compile Research & Reports than I, right now.

I've been meaning to set up my blog, but I don't have time to figure out a list of things to add. This would go a long way in figuring out my to-do list!
